Goalies:
Hank saves face by retiring. His actual salary is 4.5m+1m sbonus - recapture 3m = 2.5m loss. He simply signs as scout/ambass/g coach/... with NYR.
Georgiev stays as part of a dominating duo, end of story.
Shesterkin certainly looks like the real deal.

JF Berube signed for expansion coverage.
Lindbom, Wall and Huska seem very promising.

Defence:
Fox is a stud in the making.
Trouba will show he's a steady/heavy force in yr2 esp come playoff time.
TDa should continue to grow, hopefully on left side.
Lindgren, if he continues morphing into a beast will be plucked by Seattle, or kept and TDa dealt.
KAM and Lundkvist will soon be on the team.

Eventual maybes, Robertson, Jones, Skinner, Hajek, Rykov.
Hopefully no more Staal or Smith.

Forwards:
Bread, Zib, Kreid, Chytil are 4 guaranteed protected.
Strome, Buch, Lemieux, 3 /or replacements also protected.
Fast, Howden, Gauthier is he doesn't surpass Lemieux, are exposed.
Barron will soon be on the team.

Eventual maybes, Pajuniemi, Khodorenko, Henriksson, Aaltonen, Edstrom.
Also our 2 1st rounders.
